Description

High creep recovery, low modulus polymer systems and methods of making the same
Background
Electronic devices that display images, such as smart phones, digital cameras, notebook computers, navigation units, and televisions, include a display panel for displaying images. Thin and light flat display panels are widely used for image display. There are many types of flat display panels including Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) panels, organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) display panels, plasma Display Panels (PDPs), electrophoretic display (EPD) panels, and the like.
Flexible electronic displays or foldable displays are being developed that can be folded to provide portability and unfolded to increase viewing area. Flexible electronic displays, wherein the display can be freely bent without cracking or breaking, are a rapidly emerging field of technology for manufacturing electronic devices using, for example, flexible plastic substrates.
With the advent of these flexible electronic displays, there is an increasing demand for adhesives, particularly Optically Clear Adhesives (OCAs), for use as an assembly layer or gap-fill layer between the outer cover lens or sheet (based on glass, PET, PC, PMMA, polyimide, PEN, cyclic olefin copolymer, etc.) and the underlying display module of an electronic display assembly. The presence of the OCA improves the performance of the display by increasing brightness and contrast while also providing structural support for the assembly. In a flexible assembly, the OCA will also serve as an assembly layer that, in addition to the typical OCA function, can absorb most of the fold-induced stress to prevent damage to the fragile elements of the display panel and protect the electronic components from breaking under the stress of folding. The OCA layer may also be used to position and maintain the neutral bending axis at or at least in the vicinity of fragile elements of the display, such as barrier layers, drive electrodes or thin film transistors of an Organic Light Emitting Display (OLED).
Typical OCAs are viscoelastic in nature, intended to provide durability under a range of environmental exposure conditions and high frequency loads. In this case, a high level of adhesion and some balance of viscoelastic properties are maintained to achieve good pressure sensitive behavior and to incorporate damping properties in the OCA. However, these characteristics are not sufficient enough to enable a foldable or durable display.
Foldable displays for OLED devices require highly flexible optical adhesives to bond the plastic substrates together. Normal folding tests require the adhesive to pass through 100,000 cycles of 1mm radius (180 degree bend) folds over the entire temperature range of-20 ℃ to 85 ℃. There were no commercial products meeting this test. The foldable adhesive should have a high recovery rate and low residual strain to achieve good foldability.
Two important properties of OCAs for use in foldable display devices are modulus and creep recovery. When the device is folded, the folding creates shear stress between the adhesive and the substrate at the ends of the device, while creating compression in the bending region at the middle of the device. When the device returns to a flat state, the stress in these areas is relieved.
In particular for adhesives used in foldable displays, it is highly desirable to have polymer systems that exhibit very low modulus (especially at low temperatures) and high creep recovery. These two physical properties are usually contradictory. Polymeric structures exhibiting high creep recovery (creep recovery) generally have high modulus, while polymeric structures exhibiting low modulus have low creep recovery. For example, known high creep recovery polymers require highly crosslinked networks with high elasticity, which typically have relatively high modulus, especially at low temperatures.
Thus, there remains a need for polymers that exhibit a combination of low modulus and high creep recovery.

adhesive polymers formed by co-curing urethane acrylates and vinyl ethers surprisingly have a combination of very high creep recovery and very low modulus.

Formulation testing
Modulus of elasticity
Optically Clear Adhesive (OCA) formulations having the following compositions were tested for modulus and creep recovery on an Anton Parr MCR 302 rheometer. To establish good contact with the rheometer plate, the initial liquid test sample was photocured at 100mW/cm2 UVA for 90 seconds to form a 600 micron film across the bottom quartz plate. Modulus measurements were typically made using 8-mm aluminum parallel plates and a liquid nitrogen cooling unit at-25 to 25 ℃ with 0.1% strain, 1Hz vibrational frequency, and zero normal force. A heating rate of 3 c/min was used initially and then switched to a heating rate of 5 c/min.
The modulus and Tg values of the formulations at-20 and 25 ℃ are given in tables 1 to 6. For consistent reporting and rapid data analysis, an auto-analysis macro (auto-analysis macro) was set up using the Anton Paar RheoPlus software to determine the modulus in megapascals (MPa), and Tg values at the temperatures of interest. In this study, the temperature corresponding to the peak maximum of tan (δ) was taken as Tg. If the tan (delta) peak is not completely captured within the temperature range studied, the Tg is considered to be below-25 ℃ and is reported in the following table as "< -25". Degree.C.
Creep recovery
After the above temperature sweep, the selected formulations were subjected to creep recovery testing by: the cured sample was strained to 200% in 0.2 seconds, allowed to relax at a constant strain of 200% for 20 minutes, and then monitored for strain recovery after all accumulated shear stress was immediately removed. The strain at 2400 seconds of test run was recorded and recovery was calculated using the following equation:
Figure BDA0003817158570000151
the 70D formulation described below showed significantly higher creep recovery of 98%. At the same time, the formulation has a modulus of 0.18MPa at-20 ℃ and a modulus of 0.02MPa at 25 ℃.
